Bug ID: 492285
Summary: Support headless VNC server like WayVNC
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: unspecified
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kde.b...@headbank.co.uk
Target Milestone: ---
Simply put, I would like to be able to run a headless, persistent,
detachable/reconnectable plasma-wayland session with a VNC server, as
wlroots-based compositors are able to do with the aid of WayVNC[1].
I am aware that kwin_wayland has a virtual backend, which was mooted when
introduced as a means to provide such functionality[2] - that was a long time
ago so I do not know whether that would still be considered the best starting
point.
I am also unsure how easily reproducible is what wlroots provides that WayVNC
needs, or whether it would be necessary to implement everything including the
server in a "KDE Way"; so I don't know if this will be a big ask or a VERY big
ask. I would just like to know if there's an avenue and any interest towards
it. I think it could be very beneficial in cloud systems, VMs and even plain
old LAN usage once X11 finally shuffles off.
